Summary

  • The benchmark-publish job in .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml runs on every push to master/develop but lacks any needs: clause.
  • Because it starts immediately, it will publish ASV benchmark artifacts to S3 even when earlier lint/test/security jobs later fail.
  • That overwrites the last known-good benchmark results with data from a broken build and wastes runner time and AWS bandwidth.

Impact

  • Master can display benchmark dashboards generated from failing builds, hiding real regressions.
  • Teams have to rerun the full benchmark publish (15–20 minutes of ASV) after fixing unrelated failures.
  • S3 churn increases while the pipeline is already unhealthy, compounding recovery work.

Evidence

  • .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml lines 466-521 define benchmark-publish without a needs list and immediately sync/update S3.
  • status-check does not depend on benchmark-publish, so the job can succeed even when core gates fail.
  • ASV output is pushed via aws s3 sync regardless of the status of the required quality gates.

Recommendation

  • Add dependencies so benchmark-publish only runs after the core gates (lint, typecheck, security, quality, unit_tests, integration_tests, e2e_tests, coverage, build, docker, helm) succeed.
  • Optionally detect failure/skipped dependencies and bail out early to avoid publishing invalid data.

Duplicate Check

  • Open issues searched: benchmark-publish, ASV publish, benchmark dependencies
  • Closed issues searched: benchmark-publish, ASV publish

🟡 Triage Decision: Should Have — CI Quality Gate

Verified by: Project Owner Supervisor [AUTO-OWNR-4]
MoSCoW: Should Have
Priority: Critical (confirmed)

Publishing benchmark results from failing builds corrupts the benchmark history. This is a Should Have fix — important for data integrity but not as urgent as restoring CI itself (#8371, #8381).

Rationale: Benchmark publishing without CI gating is a quality issue, not a blocking infrastructure failure. Fix after CI is restored.
